This is an opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>There has been a lot of talk about the starting pitching of the Mets lately and rightfully so.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he might not have the best numbers this season it is hard to argue that the best pitcher is not Matt Harvey.<\/p>\n<p>The Dark Knight has been solid all season long even if he is a little more beatable on the road. In two starts against the Nats this season he has not given up a run over 13 innings.<\/p>\n<h3>Washington<\/h3>\n<p>The Nationals are holding a very slim lead over the Mets right now. They lost two of three to the Dodgers over the weekend and surprise surprise got shutout by Zach Greinke yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Facing another dominating righty in Matt Harvey is not going to be much easier, especially with Ryan Zimmerman joining the long list of players on the DL.<\/p>\n<p>Even with Bryce Harper healthy they only scored five runs in three games against L.A. That kind of production might be all they can expect until they get healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Gio Gonzalez looks to be finally finding his form.<\/p>\n<p>In his last three starts he has given up a total of two runs over 20 innings and the Nats really need him to be sharp to keep the Mets at bay.<\/p>\n<p>All season long he has been a much better pitcher at home and they are going to need him to keep it up because the Nats haven\u2019t been able to touch Harvey this season.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63745&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>This is pretty good value if you want to take Washington.<\/p>\n<h3>MLB Betting Trends:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Under is 8-2 in WAS last 10 home games.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WAS are 10-3 in their last 13 home games.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Under is 9-3 in WAS last 12 overall.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>NYM are 18-49 in the last 67 meetings.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>MLB Betting Prediction: \u00a0New York -111<\/h3>\n<p>Love the value with the Mets here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MLB Score Prediction: \u00a0New York 4 &#8211; Washington 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Nats could be a little down and the pitching favours New York.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be providing 4* free MLB plays on the blog all season long, and check out our <a title=\"MLB Plays\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/sportscapping.php?premium_picks\/leg,mlb\/afc,AF23_15\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>EXPERTS for guaranteed premium MLB Baseball\u00a0plays<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"MLB Betting Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/mlb.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated MLB\u00a0Betting Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=65348&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MLB: \u00a0Mets vs Nationals Predictions Major League Baseball betting sees the New York Mets taking on the Washington Nationals on Monday July 20 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
